–Thomas Herd www.ibtimes.comThe dispute whether alcohol is good or bad for you, what quantities may be considered healthy, and which drink is the ‘healthiest’ of all will never end. It is in human nature to compare, argue and debate, and look for excuses for one’s weaknesses and justification of one’s habits. One thing is beyond argument—consume alcohol in moderation. A ‘moderate’ consumption marks the fine line beyond which alcohol’s positives are out of the question. Premium Trust Me Vodka from Idaho is known for its looks and its remarkable taste. Every limited series bottle carries art, courtesy of talented artists the company scouts worldwide. Thanks to its artful exterior and unforgettable bite wrapped in velvety smoothness, Trust me Vodka stands out among many other vodka brands. Its production is to the industry’s most stringent standards, and only organic ingredients go into it, be it grain or potatoes. Catering to different palates, the company distills its remarkable spirit from Idaho-grown premium quality grain and organic potatoes for gluten-sensitive consumers.
With vodka holding over 20% of the U.S. spirits market and ever-soaring sales figures, it should possess properties that make it so popular. Of all alcoholic beverages, vodka—any vodka—is probably the most multi-purpose and many-faceted spirit. Putting aside the eternal debate about how much alcohol is safe and having agreed on moderation, let’s go through the list of vodka’s surprising properties and uses, sometimes unexpected and life-saving. It is widely accepted that wine relieves stress. However, and contrary to the axiom, recent studies show it does not. Vodka does a better job unwinding you after an exhausting day’s work or dealing with various stresses. Just don’t go on a binge. Vodka may be your weight loss remedy having a meager calorie count of 60 per ounce. So if you are dieting but still cannot forgo alcohol, stick to vodka rather than beer or wine. Vodka will also put you to sleep better and faster than any other drink; its effect is fast, and, given you don’t go over two shots, you get a longer sleep.
On the same moderation note, we will proceed with the inventory of vodka’s merits. The good and the bad cholesterol coexist in our bodies, and the good news is that vodka can be detrimental to the bad guy—LDL, and increase the level of the good guy—HDL that fights the bad cholesterol that tends to clog our arteries. Vodka in reasonable quantities will scrape LDL off your blood vessels. On top of helping deal with bad cholesterol, one or two vodka shots taken regularly but not obsessively are known to lower the risk of a heart attack. The more we find out about vodka’s versatility, the more interesting it gets. If you were to be sent on a mission with just one backpack of supplies and offered to pick one cure-all, your best choice would be a bottle of vodka. On top of what was listed above, it can double as a disinfectant you can pour on a cut in your skin; you can rinse your mouth with a mouthful of it for lack of Listerine in that neck of the woods. Vodka may even become part of your bedtime skincare routine since it effectively fights acne and unclogs your pores. Some of the above, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt, but most of it is accurate and has been tested by vodka fans not once. In vodka we should trust. The honest centuries-old drink won’t let you down.
In keeping with the trend of vodka’s growing popularity, in the last few years, Trust Me Vodka, the producer of ultra-premium vodka from Idaho, has reinvented the iconic drink giving it a second birth to become a leader in the ongoing premiumization of the spirits industry. They managed to make it stand out by combining a perfect form with an exquisite taste. Trust Me achieves the perfection of form by committing art to the glass, making every bottle a virtual chef-d’oeuvre. The company scouts for artists all over the world, and they may well fit with the centuries-old tradition of Venetian Murano glassmakers: so much soul and talent they contribute to the company cause. Since 2017, 15 artists have had the opportunity to create the art seen on each Trust Me Vodka bottle. Very few empty Trust Me bottles risk ending up in garbage bins: you don’t want to dump a piece of art. Trust Me Vodka’s cause is in commitment to excellence both in form and in essence. The ultra-premium drink is made from organic Idaho wheat and the pure water coming from the peaks of the Teton Mountains right to the distillery. The water, which is the lynchpin of a good spirit, is further filtered through an organic rock—the best natural filter. For those who are gluten-sensitive, Trust Me offers vodka made from potatoes rather than grain. By artfully combining nature’s three essential elements—pure mountain water, wind power, and organic grain, or potatoes— the company produces what is rightfully the ultra-premium liquor that caters to the most demanding palate.
In tune with the stay-at-home theme and mindful of vodka’s perfect fit as a cocktail ingredient because of its neutral flavor, Trust Me recently rolled out a line of bottled vodka cocktails from the famed Bloody Mary to Sex on the Beach and many more. The rebirth of vodka performed by Trust Me through the combination of art, allegiance to uncompromised quality, and masterful use of nature’s gifts have already garnered the brand a healthy—and growing— following.

After being commissioned by Trust Me Vodka to create the mural, Golik said it took her and the team over three weeks to complete.
SAN DIEGO — The Mural of Hope was unveiled Sunday afternoon in downtown San Diego at Mixon Liquor and Deli, which has been a staple in the community since the 1930s. The mural’s creator said the piece is a symbol of humanity coming together which she believes the world needs a lot of right now.
“Liberty” is the mural’s name and Russian-born, pop-surrealist and artist Evgeniya Golik originally created the painting in 2017 to show the diversity of San Diego and around the nation.
“It’s a symbol of the country itself. It’s like a mother figure. That she embraces all these people represented in the eyes, in this case. So they all have different colors and different skin tones. It doesn’t [matter] the age, race, no matter your background, you’re loved,” Golik said.
After being commissioned by Trust Me Vodka to create the mural, Golik said it took her and the team over three weeks to complete. She said she realized that painting the mural at Mixon Liquor & Deli would impact more people and take on a new meaning.
“We really need this message of unity now because there’s been so much arguing and hate. It honestly breaks my heart, so I feel very honored and proud of this project,” Golik said.
Mixon Liquor is in the heart of downtown San Diego on First Avenue and the mural can be seen by thousands of people in the area. The mural concept is also a part of the Trust Me Vodka brand, serving as its packaging label for a special edition.
“I’m grateful to Trust Me Vodka to discover me and trust me with this and I think out of all my paintings that I’ve ever done, this is the one I wanted to be mural,” Golik said.
Trust Me Vodka had “Gold Flake” Collector Boxes also featured in the Everyone Wins gift bags given to Oscar nominees.
Ten percent of the proceeds from Trust Me Vodka sales Sunday will also be donated to the San Diego Foundation for Arts and Culture.

-Saqib MalikMost consumers these days prefer to shop from companies that exercise creativity and craftsmanship rather than simply producing a good product. Many spirit brands have very minimal branding and no personality, despite being a fun industry. Trust Me Vodka is an ultra-premium, American-made brand that decided to break that mold. Trust Me Vodka is a unique brand that features artists on every bottle as a way of showcasing their commitment to the arts. They allow the artists to tell a message through every bottle, and get some recognition that they may not have garnered otherwise. The creators of Trust Me have a strong affinity for vodka as well as giving others a platform to express their creativity. They saw a unique opportunity to create a top-tier spirits brand while simultaneously showcasing the talented craftsmanship of global artists. Since 2017, Trust Me has partnered with 15 different artists to display their art on the bottles of vodka. Trust me is constantly looking for the next up-and-coming artist. In 2017, the very first artist to grace their bottles was Jeff Soto, an American contemporary artist known for his distinct color palette and street art. What makes each bottle of vodka so special is that each bottle is part of a limited series that will become collectible once all of the 20,000 that are manufactured are sold. For vodka drinkers or art enthusiasts, Trust Me provides a beautiful piece of art to display on their bars at home. The art shown on the bottles ranges from contemporary, modern, abstract, and more. As true aficionados of the art world, Trust Me is looking to expand from working with traditional artists to fashion, film, music and more. On to the star of the show: the vodka. For all of the vodka connoisseurs, Trust Me offers two different spirits along with bottled cocktails. The organic vodka is made from wheat, while the gluten-free vodka is made from the finest Idaho potatoes. Trust Me prides themselves on being made from 100% clean ingredients. The gluten-free vodka is smooth and subtly sweet, while the organic vodka is known for its clean and crisp profile without the harsh kick. Everyone loves a good farm-to-table moment, so why not have the same when it comes to spirits. The farm-to-bottle approach is one that will likely become increasingly popular as consumers aim to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Trust Me has also recently launched a line of premium bottled cocktails. As Americans spent the past year indulging from home more frequently than ever before, Trust Me knew these bottled cocktails would be perfect from the comfort of your own home or if you decide to head to the park on a sunny day. Whether you prefer a Bloody Mary or a Sex on the Beach, the bottled cocktail line has something just for you, and it tastes just as though it was crafted by a mixologist in your favorite bar. Trust Me Vodka is committed to continue their promotion of artists and make the best-for-you vodka possible. To learn more, visit their website or follow them on Instagram.
